As an information security professional and someone who works on tiny, embedded systems, knowing that a project is written in Rust is a huge enticement. I wish more projects written in Rust advertised this fact!

Benefits of Rust projects—from my perspective:

Don't have to worry about the biggest, most common security flaws. Rust projects can still have security flaws (anything can) but it's much less likely for certain categories of flaws.
Super easy to build stuff from scratch. Rust's crates ecosystem is fantastic! Especially in the world of embedded where it's a godsend compared to dealing with C/C++ libraries.
It's probably super low overhead and really fast (because Rust stuff just tends to be like that due to the nature of the language and that special way the borrow checker bitches at you when you make poor programming choices haha).
It's probably cross-platform or trivially made cross-platform.
